Gas is $6 a gallon. Elections are being won or lost on affordability. And everything just seems to be expensive lately.<\/p>\n

You can dine at home to save money, sure.<\/p>\n

But sometimes you just gotta take a break and let someone else do the cooking.<\/p>\n

So we thought we\u2019d ask, where do you eat out when the budget is tight? What restaurant? What dish, specifically? How much does it cost?<\/p>\n

Beyond that $1.50 hot dog and soda combo at Costco, what other deals are out there? Especially at locally owned restaurants in Fresno and Clovis?<\/p>\n

Give us specifics in the form below and we\u2019ll share the results with you in a story.<\/p>\n
